Hi Andrew,
Yes, in the current orientation as below, the baluda would actually appear above the circle.
Thanks for the clarification.

Then we could also change the glyph image such that there is a perforated circle with the baluda to the right (considering that the dagalga is to the left of the perforated circle).
In the chart the glyphs are rotated so that the baluda would be above the circle, right?

Hi Andrew,
Could I ask your thoughts on the Unicode write-up for the two Baludas U+1885/U+1886.
Here is the current description of the U+18A9 Dagalga described as a Diacritical Mark (I think we can delete the phrase "this is not a letter but a diacritical mark" as it is redundant with the heading)

What do you think of the idea of giving the 1885/1886 a similar heading to the Dagalga such as "Diacritical mark for Sanskrit and Tibetan"? Then we could also change the glyph image such that there is a perforated circle with the baluda to the right (considering that the dagalga is to the left of the perforated circle). That would make it very clear to font developers how the mark is to be laid out.
